Nonsense, those of us who have been fighting Romney here for years have watched that take place, freepers that we have been engaged in constantly since 2007 on almost a daily basis, we watched them pull that routine as they fought against Palin, most of them got banned because the beard routine was not enough to hide their secret Romney agenda, but some of them are still here, and we watched as they went from beard to beard, all the while as their subtext was a Romney agenda.
Even for those who choose Santorum first, Romney is second choice for many of them, I am on some of those threads right now.
Well, I guess we just disagree. I can see that Rick is trying to win. Newt shot himself in the foot by tring to go tit-for-tat with the highly negative Romney campaign. He was already on thin ground with those that were pissed about him pulling the rug out from under Paul Ryan. He seemed to confirm the concerns people had by attacking capitalism of all things when going after Romney. That was the last straw for many that were giving him the benifit of the doubt and already had serious concerns. Rick benifited from the Newt exodus. That is Newt’s fault and Ricks lucky timing, not anything else.
I’ll have to ask you to point our some of these Santorum people who are actually closet Romney people, as I don’t personally know any such.
I can vote for Santorum easily, and have had notions that it would possibly be good for him to run for years, thanks to his frequent radio spots with people I listen to.
He is upbeat and hopeful enough that moderates and independents could vote for him - though I am sure in the general he will be caricatured as somewhat to the right of Hitler (sic). The campaign against him now could actually help in that circumstance.
Romney can’t get my vote at all, why put someone in office whom the Republicans will not fight as he implements the same odious policies any (D) would?
I don’t see these two becoming political bedfellows at all, but I suppose I could be wrong. If it came down to a Romney Santorum ticket, see point two above. I am not going to vote for a heart attack again, did that last time.
Gingrich, I can vote for, but know many female conservatives who can’t stand him, and I am not sure I didn’t feel cheated on myself, well before his infamous pictures and positions on MGW.
